Let it Go To chaos of life is enough to handle, so don't hold the grudge anymore, just erase it and enjoy peace. In life, people will always offend you, but how you allow it affect you is the real deal. You can choose to laugh over it and move on. It won't reduce you, but rather it will position you as a champion. At times people purposely come to try us. The devil send them to try our patience. In fact, most times they don't know that the enemy is using them as tool. In…

Add Value Individuals look out for brand or service that meet their needs. For you to get their attention and respect, you need to do things better than what others are doing in that field. Your customers, employer, friends and associates, do not care what you do with your life, brand or service. The responsibility depends on you, adding value to whatever you do is your responsibility and not that of others. Be exceptionally different in what you do. Be intentional about…
Procrastination Some years back, I started something, I felt if I allow it for sometime I will probably in prove on it. I allowed it, before I knew it, it was almost 2 years. When I went back to start from were I stopped, to my amazement! The prices of things have increased tremendously. I began to ask my self, why did I procrastinate to do it. My status have not changed, my means have not changed, same as before. But am doing it now at a higher price compared to years back…

A Desire To Hear From God Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The Word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 1 Samuel 3:7-8 We as Believers, desire things sometimes, because of the possibility of such things. One of such desire, is a desire to hear from God The Holy Spirit is admonishing us…

Peace Indicator Acid turns blue litmus paper red Base turns red litmus paper blue Litmus paper is an indicator to ascertain the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Basic chemistry! Questions in the Christian faith has been raised, on the best way to ascertain God's voice on a matter! It is very easy to choose between a good thing(way) and a bad thing(way). I mean we have the bible and conscience to guide us. But it become very difficult for people to make choice between two…
Just A Single Unit Hundred Tens and Unit The subject "numeric" comes with its challenges, for a child just beginning the schooling race. Then we use to chop sticks in large numbers or use bottle tops(canters) for our home work. Our teacher/parent would yell " How many sticks are those?" Just to ascertain our answer before responding, we would begin a fresh counting "one, two, three.... FIVE," then came forth our yet uncertain response " Five". No matter how difficult it was…
Suicidal Steps It began from temperament I spoke less and stayed alone. I was classified melancholic; A slow stream, that yet runs; A green snake under green cover. I nursed every ill spoken word, I thought on them until I bled. Once or twice I voiced how I felt, But I was mocked, so my wounds enlarged, And my voice sank, I swore "never again". I was scared of what they will say, I felt incomplete all the way, I wonder if I had any good in me, Such that a soul can see. I…
Direction - It's Never Late Some time ago we where to attend an occasion outside the state. The host instructed the driver on the route to take, where to stop, while on the journey. The driver missed his way, the host village had no network and there was no banner placed in a strategic place to point us to the occasion. We drove for hours, asking questions, most of the pedestrians did not know the exact place, they point us to this direction or the other. We spent hours…
Do Good At all Times My father had a driver Chucks, this guy will use the car to pick passengers, he will drive around Port Harcourt on drops. When the car is faulty, he brings it for the employer to make repairs, while he is using it for his personal business. My dad will always tell his wife, to give him food every evening he comes to park. I would be wondering why is he good to this man, he will see his employers children on the road, he will not carry them. We all knew…

Awaken The Remnant "Except the Lord of hosts had left us a very small remnant [of survivors], we should have been like Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah". Isaiah 1:9 For every generation, God secludes a remnant for Himself. Those who are called of Him; those who chooses to walk with Him despite the contention. A remnant! He strategically places them, and uses them to execute his purposes for that generation. On the contrary, they are not known by size or…
Many More Men It is true that the pressure is massive, and it is difficult to live in a generation like ours, maintaining godly standards. The media seem to be against us, our environment war's against us; peer pressure and heightened sexual pressure seem to be the order of the day. We even seem to fight our very self; for self seem to have yielded without our permission. And painfully, when we look around, we find almost no one to draw strength from! "Iron sharpen iron, so…
Judas Goat I pray this truth set you free, in Jesus name! A Judas Goat is not a concept, but a live animal. The animal is actually name after Judas Iscariot. The goat is well trained to act smart and loyal. Follow me! After completing its training period with an older Judas goat, it is been introduced into the sheep's pen. In the pen, it displays a lot of stunt, friendliness and virtues and over time wins the flock's trust. The Judas goat becomes the star boy in the pen!…
Infirmity In Prayer I want to expose something! A praying man/woman has a serious sickness he/she is battled with! So they remain in the struggle and yet say nothing! Let me expose them! Every one would love to pray! Every one prays to something, whether God or idols! The infirmity in praying to God isn't in praying but 1) On what to pray for! 2)On how you ought to pray for it! So man is incapable of sorting this out on his own. For it is spiritually discerned. Most men stay…
My First Love Many years ago, I fell hard in love with a damsel. she was my noonday. She insistently shone, even in the heavy down pour I experienced in my life at that time. I held on to the future because of her. she was everything in my everything. Those days, we stole time to see each other. We had a meeting point where familiar eyes were far off. I still remember the times we spent together; the jokes, the sincerity, the dreams, the encouragement, the smiles. We always…
Rivers, Not River Many villages in the south south region of Nigeria are marked with a passing "river". In most cases, the villagers seem not to know its head nor its tail; it simply flows through. Most of these bodies of water, they refer to as rivers, are actually river tributaries. Tributaries are the branches of a particular body of water (river). A single river might own up to a hundred tributaries depending on the length and the flow.…
Mere Barley Loaves For bread lover, you can state your best brand in town. Some of us go as far as falling headlong in love, with a special brand made outside our own state of residence. Soft bread makes a good combo with many things, namely; porridge beans(madoo), fried egg, spreads, tea, groundnut, yoghurt, etc. Mostly, bread is made from wheat flour, gotten by processing the cereal wheat, grown mostly in the savannahs. Bread could also be made from barley (known primarily…
A Remnant "The earth is bare" we seldom think, "Why lord" we are bitter and gall. Arms weakens, strength seems to blink, And we can never know, the cost of our fall. Let it be known, that in being weary and indignant, You reduce a Remnant! So you trade your faith for luxury, A cup of ice cream, a meal for the stomach, You choose transient over glory, Not knowing that you're trading your rank in the army. Although we are but on earth tenants, You're playing with a Remnant!…
Greed's Guilt At the unfolding of dawn, I went up the roof top, To ponder on a thing or two; To let light flood my trouble soul, Perhaps, brace up to face the day. At the station where my heart succumbed to ease, My eyes strayed at a bearing east. Discovering I had disturbed a new couple in their love making, I screamed, "oh my! How could I?" How could I steal their moment? How could I disturb their sacred peace? They seemed happy on the roof top, And made their home there,…
Nature's Glee In perfect composite Lie the green and petals, Plainly in such appropriate, And in the best fettle, Radiates fitting the cosmic. At the sun's boldness, Is nature's beauty exposed, Lighting upon her nakedness, Lurking in the woods, You find an enchanting fairness. Captured in the perfect mix, Is the abstract ingenuity, Laid in such a perfect fix, In their serenity, with rays playing a trick. Nature glees lavishly, With no shyness. With charms endearingly, To her…
At The Shore I stood so confused at the shore, While I saw the vast sea I had to surpass. I was calculating; submerged in steady awe, Die scared of drowning to the ocean floor. For though I had earlier counted, instantly I recounted the cost. I wanted to sail, show the world I could, I had reverse out of father's love and mother's care. I stood still, detecting a canoe that sails to my dreams, Such that will make the world latter see the painting of my achievement, And my…
Ignore The Showdown No damsel can meet your class, But the cost has been my life. I get you adorned with my savings, And neglect my future to fate! O damsel! Your beauty enchants and intoxicates, So I say things I don't mean. You were to me like a dazzling star, That made me stumble and fall. O damsel! Your words were bold and reassuring, Until I followed them to my end. Your pleasing steps led me on, And I trailed them to my doom. O damsel! Our love was firm and untampered,…
Careless Whispers I had come to the breakage point; Here my harassed fortress fell flat. I felt the wear and tear caress my joints, Having seen thick darkness roam my heart. The fuzzy soot made my center hold no more, And my pain was given permission to flow. It was like I was lost in the dark forest, Where the sun never shone upon. My soul rumbled in furry, my spirit stood restless, Tears could no more comfort, my knees clung, So I shuttered, then whispered, then screamed,…
Waiting in utter preparedness Like hungry children anticipating their evening meal The light in the eyes have gone dim from insomnia Sleeplessness from struggling To rebuild altars Bare altars, stare with glaring eyes We returned the stare, dismay written all over our faces In bold letters The letters that killed the fire In our spirits The protective hedge has been abandoned The shielding refuge lay waste From broken hedges to souls The serpents trail is visible The scars…
With brokenness We bring our fears From our heart's bitter stream We pour out tears On the altar of consecration we lay Faults and weaknesses, errors and distractions Piled up in this temple made with clay Giving up thoughts and wayward passions With feeble hands, we lift THE BLOOD Breaking grounds of faulty foundations Cutting horns that keep our head low in the mud Ready to take our place among the nations We look to the rock from where we were hewn And into the pit from…
Heart Cries Slowly shattered by fellow colleagues Distracted with rearranging the pieces, paying less attention to The Call Wincing as life hits me with bitterness and snickers at my inability to beat it Seeking for relief and true happiness That soothing relief that comes on Saul as David plays the harp I AM THE HEART Yearning for perfect peace and serenity in every piece I read and listen to Struggling to break free from the bonds of slavery where I and falsehood are…
Revival Speaks Silence! silence! silence! Words are about to be spoken The foundations of the earth about to be shaken Territories are expected to be taken Hungry souls are about to be filled Worldly systems of oppression and slavery destined to be killed Darkened hearts of men are soon to be enlightened Reprobate minds, tightened with futile thoughts soon to be loosened The sickle has been thrown in, an army is about to be chosen The silence is finally broken Why do we…
My Prayer Overwhelm us! Come stir our heart again, And abide only therein. Brood over ambitions, scare them to flight. Win over emotions, Trigger us to love thee! Overwhelm us! Call us to private places, A place for you and me. I will send away my lovers, And have my garment removed. Let us lock in intimacy, And smear romance thick! Overwhelm us! Come in the night and noon, Come in the street and home. Then, I'll become an addict, Obsessed by the love we brew! Come calling…
We wait for revival One that'll mock the excesses of exegesis; The type that'll raise crouches in churches; The same that bothered brothers to bear others; And bore dense burdens in hearts for God's manifestation; The lame must walk, and dumb must talk; And like walkie talkies after they spoke, it was OVER!!! This dead must rise, it'll only take a faithful CPR; Planned 3 trials, but will triumph on the first try of three; 'Cos there's revival We wait for revival The type…
Things You Should Avoid Recently, I met someone who I have known years ago, the person is still at the same level. One begin to wonder why is the fellow, still at the same placement, all these years. The reason is because they have refused to avoid certain things, which are: 1. Pride 2. Woman 3. Money The above listed factors, are most; though, not limited to the reason why most individuals do not go up in life, business and career. They have either engaged in either of the…
Worn-out Bride The moon was there while the evening sprayed, Dancing with her spices around them all; It was strong, intoxicating, Families left drunk of love they brewed. He took an oath of the breeze, Promised it will be better than this. Father said he was too sure, Mother echoed, "it was revealed", Neighbors also affirmed that he was an answered prayer. A gentleman indeed! The subject of maiden's gossip, Flattery anteed, They rendered their palaver. His voice sobered…
The World Has Gone Mad Racing onward at scalar, Our dear world has gone gaga. She wraps her fullness to her back, Leaps the hills and roams places dark. She wears a black morning gown Appearing dirty and down. The world has gone mad! I wish you know so. She dances on hearing wrong judgement, But scorns honest achievement. She scavenges for vices in the heart, And sings to them sweet patriotic songs, But then sits upon virtue and farts, And demeans them with abusive words.…
Sail Your Boat Sail your boat towards tomorrow, On the deep blue sea of life. Though storms lay an ambush for you, Onward your boat should always row. Sail your boat towards tomorrow, Sail it willingly with your hands paddling. Think of fruitful Greenland's fro, Let your mind not be weary in seeing. Sail your boat towards tomorrow, Understand you may not arrive soon. Although the tempest shall indeed roar; Let your peace be kept intact. Sail your boat towards tomorrow, Open…
Define For Us No More What/who is your reference? i.e. if you even have one. In the pursuit of any goal, one need to have a reference; a standard, an example or a glimpse of what you're looking for. It is on this note that you can access your efforts: are you conforming to your reference or are you nothing compared to your dreams. It is not a cliche to say that the path you take, determines the result you get. "Now then we are ambassadors for Christ..." 2Corith 5:20 If…
Footsteps In My Heart I hear many footsteps of thoughts, Strolling up and down my reins. They tread with of laudable various tempo, Yet, each seem to have her full day. Times they trample hard to raise notes of worries, Other times move faintly, to keep my heart still. When I find them in my dreams, They come with faces, in acts and scenes. Some seem so beautiful, but with dubious intent, Some look fairly bright with happy tidings, But their storylines is what I must note,…
The Future Is Gone Is the African child no more a blessing, Coming from the heavens so high? Is he no more the melodious melody, That sings upon the parents heart, Making the dark gloom fly? Is he no more a true sign of fruitfulness, Wherein they are assured that their God sail their course, And has approved their union? Is he not priceless and most adorable, While they think of him as their improved version? My eyes has beheld the evading beauty of childhood, Curled away in…
Hunter hunt!!! I woke up every morning to build my hunting skills I oil my hunting rifle before I move to kill My wife will have to peck me with an amazing smiles The warmness of her breath will tick with me for an hour I pray to God for favor as my prey will be unflavored I wear my boot of safety and with me a bag of Amor Oh, now I feel am gallant and I never pray for wisdom I lead myself alone and I trusted in my rifle Slowly her peck is vanishing and deeply her memories…
Strange Dealings "Man know thyself" one of the wisest proverb I've heard in a rowdy world like ours. A world that works on a system that promotes greed and unhealthy competition, making wealth creation through any means (good or bad) primary. A world that has refused to teach process, belittles mind blowing attempt or effort, but lie eager for results. Most persons seems to be pressured into a trend, which of course the destination is wealth creation (that which our world…
Love Saga Birds chirp and ask you to take me along Let there be thirst for love and let our love grow. Listen to what my heart echoes. Let the time stand still and while love makes us alive. The life I live all these years had no value. But now I want to live for you. I made a pact with my heart. I will be born a hundred times for you. I will write our love saga on the skies. Let us be together for the rest of our lives. Being in love is so lovely.
Stuck The silent bitter cry, The painful groans in the dark, The slippery path that thou does ply, An endless journey to embark. A profound hate in love, A faithful steward to death, Sincere repentance in words, A soul tied to a stake. Times when arms failed, When will stood no chance. Times when advice failed; When counsel lost her strength, Soon after boasting of might, Thou goes crumbling again! A breeding lust in desires, A trap covered with passion, The bounds and…
Ojuju Calabar The evening is here again, and the children are out to play. They form a large circle, And their chanting resonates. Kpanpangolo! kpangolo! Around a circle of peers, Kpanpangolo! Kpangolo! The Lion roars so loud. Kpanpangolo! Kpangolo! He chases after the goat. Kpanpangolo! kpangolo! The crowd raises tempo. Kpanpangolo! kpangolo! The Lion catches his prey. Kpanpangolo! kpangolo! The Lion gets the cheers. Everyone gladly took turns playing Kpanpangolo; Acting…
A Demon in Beauty You've gone lost In beholding her beauty, Blameless and fair gentleman from the east. If beauty doesn't tell lies, There would be need to call for a feast: To have friends sit at meat. For thou would be liken to a favored miner, Who found great treasures in ancient caves. If beauty doesn't beguile Luring to a path of death; A path with loads of pleasures, The path with many tourist. She would be to you like an empire, and Thou would plunged Into a meeting…
The Principle of Reflection There are nine basic planets according to science. The earth holds the third position, awarded by her nearness to the sun. Some of these planets own satellites e.g. Saturn with twelve satellite. The earth is fortunate to own just one satellite called "the moon." Science tell of the moon being without a light of its own, in contradiction to what the Bible says "that God made two great light; The sun to rules by day and the moon to rule by night."…
Layers of Secret The strata of secrets Found in the cleft of thy heart, Has made freedom soar Into the dark clouds, to rain upon thee Hailstones of depression. Thou at left with a skeleton of you, Cloned carefully with pounds of lies and ambience of deceit. Your simplicity traveled to the moon. Revealing thy decay only at seasoned night; Those travailing nights when there are no eyes to please! Thy tongue seeks an escape route by uttering appealing lies, which entangles much…
A Shadow of You DEAR LOVER, A shadow of "You" passes by, more often these days! Could you state clearly The last time you saw "You"? Did you find "You" after the luring smiles thrown at you? Were "You" intact after biting the sumptuous pie downtown! Or when he held thy hand subtly, at the cinema? Letting the currents of lust gush and overwhelmed thy soul! Was it about the hug that lasted longer than usual. Thereafter you bore him in thy thoughts, Yet, couldn't get enough!…
Born to Fly You were born to fly Whether or not you've got wings Set your gaze upon the sky No matter what each day brings Life' s like the eye of a needle As narrow as it may be Never get stuck in the middle Push through till you're free It's rough and tough today And you seem to faint in the plight But then, come what may You got to win in the fight Learn the art of brick laying Against those who throw stones Stretch your wings and keep flying Let nothing brake your bones…
I'm drowning in love I'm drowning in love dear mother! Dare not to become my Savior. My heart melts for a funny Mister But I know not his name. I'm drowning in love dear mother! Thy teachings are falling away. Awaiting his notice takes longer Can I play the man? I'm drowning in love dear mother! lost daily in painting dreams, I wish he takes me as a lover! Even though I'll have to share. I'm drowning in love dear mother! Seeking his consuming gaze He seems to me much nicer,…
Am I A Rapist? *Be today a honest jury* *As I lay to your verdict, my fate!* *It's to me an innocent darkened story* *My conscience bears guilt's weight.* *Decide and declare if I'm guilty or free!* *For being in the middle, makes me sick!* *Life is nothing without a perfect peace* *Living without paying guilt's fees* *All I've got are the black memories* *I can't say, I made a choice.* *Childhood indeed covered my thinking* *and I was out committing' unknown felonies.* *I…
A Sonnet Titled "Don't Look Down" Take to your heart thy father's sound advice, So thy names be written, up the sky. Give not to old success' room to entice, If the whole heavens, is thy plan to buy. Run out swift and quickly from comfort soft; The beckons to slumber; to butter and ease. Brace thy heels further, no matter the cost The broken hedges, the borrowed fees! If so told, that you fell off this sayings, Not so! that thou looked to past wins. For her kiss pushes great…
Insecure with God The story of David and Goliath was my best story, from the list of a thousand stories, told unto us by teacher Francis then in children church. I was flummoxed at how David, the hero in that story; a young boy as described by teacher Francis, slayed the furry giant, Goliath with Just a catapult and a stone. I wondered whether it was the same catapult we used then, to chase Lizards, Squirrels and birds that broke into our domain and dared to be seen. We were…
Caged by knowledge Isn't knowledge more profitable, Than the drilling of liquid gold? Or considered more adorable, Than the brilliance of emerald? 'Was ignorant, of knowledge being like a woman, hiding within her bosom her apprehensive sides. 'Was ignorant, of knowledge being like an epiphyte, sapping away my strength and soonest, taking my place! Oh! 'was told, she was like the farmer's favorite dog faithful and consistent unto him. 'Was told, she is like a diadem of…
My Ink No one can halt thy floppy wings! Fly in furry! fly in peace! Find the cows of Bashan, on a mountains high! Lay upon them thy wish! If in furry, serve your words steamy! If in peace, breathe on them ease! Let thy song, call to life the weary, Pour on them, volumes of buttered hope. Let thyself march onward, to a battle tense! Wield your sword swiftly, without a shield. nothing would dare thy daring ambience Nothing of races, nor beast, nor machines. Let kings go in…
Hundred Fold I fell in love with agriculture far back, while in primary three. The subject "elementary science" rose undefined interest in my heart, though I was about six years of age. It amazed me how I could plant a small seed, and latter find it growing. As the stages of growth unfolds, and the flower blooms, my happiness seemed unending, as I await her fruiting. I childishly asked silly questions, just to quench my quest to know! Questions like, if I could plant…
Fantasy and price In a wild chase for desires, of the driven carts kind of treat. I sold myself to a buyer, to pay fare, to a dream sweet. 'was thought-soaked of gold and the mines Her favored flared purple silk, Enchanted fragrance from a garden fine'. My greed creamed, like of buttermilk. Buying towards the charmers sound; Of Egypt wealth and her pride! I went lost, not to be found, Allowing fantasy take me for a ride. I live not, though I exist! Miles away from the sold…
